I have just seen this article about the privately-owned National Aviary of Colombia, home to almost 2,000 birds of 165 species. Many of them are former victims of wildlife trafficking - so far in 2018 Colombian authorities have rescued nearly 4,000 birds.
Much of the article is essentially a walkthrough of the park which contains 3 ecosystem displays and 21 exhibits. The hope is to one day have 34 exhibits and a veterinary clinic specialising in birds.
Rafael Viera, one of the visionaries behind the aviary, has now started another project called Oceanarium Rosario Islands that has been founded with the intention of exhibiting, protecting and breeding the marine fauna and flora of the Colombian Caribbean.
